“Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles” (Romans 1:13).
Paul’s desire to minister the gospel to the Roman’s was in order to “impart some spiritual gift” that he might have “fruit among them.” For this he had prayed, more than once; but he was hindered time and again.
Too bad he did not know that under the New Covenant you don’t have to put up with such. You pray once, claiming it by faith. Sure the devil hindered Daniel, but that's Daniel, not us. We’re a “New Testament Man.”
If only Paul had been one.
He wouldn’t have been hindered and he wouldn’t have had all this gospel in him that he wanted to share, and he might not have been compelled to write it all down in a letter . . .”
To the Romans.
And then we wouldn’t have known “that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Got hindrances?
